Billecart-Salmon is one of the few Champagne houses to still be owned and operated by the family that founded it. On Episode 105 of The Drinking Hour podcast, host David Kermode talks to the maison‘s president and seventh-generation family member, Mathieu Roland-Billecart. The pair discuss the importance of heritage, the advantages of working as a tight-knit family, Mathieu’s path back to the family business, and finding the right balance when it comes to the blend. Kermode also shares in celebrations on the launch of the brand’s latest prestige cuvée, the Nicolas François 2008.
